Above, just three of the many comic illustrations that grace the covers of Os Velhinhos records, a Brazillian group that I know little about. (Perhaps one of our readers can help shed light on what must have been a popular band.) After seeing their caricatures on Brazilian sleeves for so long, it was fun to see the real guys on the record that Tony found below>

Post Script: The band “Os Velhinhos Transviados” (The misled elderly) was formed by José Menezes de França, a Brazilian multi-instrumentalist and composer that decided to compose with other experienced musicians parodies of old and new songs. It was a satire: they played old music in a modern way and modern music in an old way, just for fun. (Thanks to Eric and his friend from Brazil)
